Timberwolves at Suns

[FArting]

Rubio is out for the season.

I'm expecting a win tonight which put us in a tie with 4 other teams for 10th place in the standings.

Hrrmmm... I dunno. Love is playing tonight. We better not fall behind by double digits again, it will be hard to come back against a team that rebounds as well as they do.

Just watching the game. It's amazing how Dudley can get his shot off inside. He could give Markieff Morris lessons.

I am blown away by his improvement....he is proving to be a force on both end

 

[Mainstreet]

Pekovic is a huge force inside for the Wolves. He has 15 points and 4 rebounds in the first quarter.

Robin Lopez is generally playing well. If he can ever learn not to bring the ball down on shots and rebounding that alone would make him better.

He uses every ounce of talent he has. His energy is contagious.

 

[Mainstreet]

Gortat is a non-factor in the first half with only 3 points, 1 rebound and 3 personal fouls.

go suns go!
whew

 

[Mainstreet]

Pekovic makes Marc Gasol seem like a finesse center.

Dudley has been a scoring monster. Nash has helped pick up the scoring load.

 

[Phrazbit]

This loss would be a bummer. Lots off good efforts in this game.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bad game by Gortat and a good game from the Wolves bench just about summarizes the game.

good thing they destroyed the value of our draft pick for a delusional attempt of making the playoffs.

even with the games they won they are still in 12th place and only half a game ahead of golden state..

This was the first game this season I actually cared about. After going 7-3 and getting close to the eight spot, this game felt important and meaningful. For most of the season it feels like watching preseason match-ups. I simply didn't expect Phoenix to make a run for the postseason but now that they came within arm's length... Bummer, but again a good effort!

 

[FArting]

How did we lose to them? I would of thought with Rubio out we would have beaten them.

Last time they had Rubio we beat them.

The game came down to the wire and Wolves had Love to make shots, the Suns had no one. Nash missed a couple jumpers he normally makes and Gortat missed two free throws. Game over.

This was the sort of game the Suns would have gotten blown out in earlier in the season when the offense was stagnant. Unfortunately, when the Suns rediscover their high octane offense, they tend to forget how to get stops.
